Hey guys! So from what I’ve read it looks like I’m not the only one who’s new to the blogging thing. Which is good, no pressure. I decided to do a playlist of songs. Some of them describe me, which is difficult because I feel like that’s a constantly changing playlist, and some songs are just part of what makes me who I am. I come from a very musical family and there are some songs that tie very strongly to memories. 

1. Milord by Edith Piaf. This song is my grandmas favorite, and when my mom was growing up it was a tradition to listen to Edith Piaf on Saturday mornings while everyone cleaned the house and did chores. My mom brought this tradition to my family. Even though I’m not at home, I still listen to this while I clean my dorm room, though I like to do it on Friday mornings.
2. Let It Be by the Beatles. My dad plays the guitar, and when I was little this was the first songs I knew all the words to because he would play it and we sang together.
3. So Long Dearie from the musical Hello Dolly. I started doing musicals at school when I was in fourth grade and stuck with it for every year until I graduated. Hello Dolly is my all time favorite musical and Dolly Levi is my dream role, so if it every comes back to Broadway I will be the first in line to audition.
4. Feeling Good, the Nina Simone version. I love this song because it has a subtle way of saying “look around you and enjoy what the world is offering you”, which a lot of times I have a tendency to forget to do.
5. She Don’t Want A Man by Asher Roth. This is one of my favorite songs. I love to dance to it and I listen to it whenever I’m getting ready to go out. I love Asher Roth and I think this is a perfect description of what it’s like to be a girl that just going out to have some fun.
6. The Remedy by Jason Mraz. I had to put at least on of his songs in here because I love his music. I chose the remedy because this was the first song I ever heard of his, and it was right around the time that I was starting to explore my own taste in music.
7. Caught In A Daze by David Dallas. I have a serious tendency to let myself get caught in a daze, and sometimes it can be a great thing, like when I’m writing or I’m focused on something I’m working on. Unfortunately most of the time I get caught in a daze of laziness and it’s kind of an issue.
8. Look What They Done To My Song, the Ray Charles version. There is literally a Ray Charles song for any mood you could ever be in and it’s almost embarrassing how much of his music I have in my iTunes. For the most part I listen to him when I’m studying or reading but some songs, like this one, are better for when I just want to be giddy and hop around like a fool
